Solve : HP-dv7 running hot? |
|
Answer» Like i said it sits on an external cooler (Belkin is the maker). The laptop is raised and the vents are clean. I have looked multiple times online for a baseline temperature scale for this laptop and have found none.Cool 'N' Quiet is an AMD technology used on certain CPUs which reduces the CPU frequency clock and voltage (and hence its power consumption) when the load is light, and ramps them up to max (or to user settable levels) when full power is needed. You did not say what laptop model or CPU model you have. You would need to check settings in the BIOS and in Windows power options to see if Cool 'N' Quiet is enabled or can be enabled. AMD XM-74 dual core 2.2 Ghz. processor If you meant RM-74, MAYBE your cpu is the Turion 64 X2 RM-74? I have seen these sort of temps mentioned Quote I would like to mention that temp highly DEPEND UPON your power configuration... 55 C is 130 F approx 65 C is 150 F approx 70 C is 160 F approx 90 C is 194 F approx The max temp for a Turion is 100 C and you don't really want to get over 90 on a regular basis. I have also seen these remarks Question: Quote My system shows following temps. Answer to that question: Quote I think that those temperatures are normal for HP AMD laptops.....and they are too hot. 100C is the peak rated operating temperature. Getting within 10C of that is not good. Not much you can do about it though. HP will tell you that it's normal. And the computer will, most likely, survive a 1 yr warranty. So you can face paying for a repair in year 2 or 3. So your temps sound normal for that hardware, and I would not seriously expect to get much difference by changing the heatsink compound. Like I said before, other things affect temps more. Like usage and system design. I would expect that if you had Cool 'N' Quiet disabled, the idle and low usage temps (surfing etc) would be higher but the gaming temps would be much the same. Ya, since I'm just doing web surfing right now and am on the forums the temperature is pretty low (well higher than it usually is, but I have [email protected] on) its only at 147 F. And yes that is the processor I have. I guess that I will try to keep from having it on the "high performance" setting as much as I can. Its kind of unavoidable if I want to work smoothly on Revit. It is what it is, I guess. Thanks.According to the technical documentation on AMD's suport site, the maximum temperature for that processor should not exceed 95 degrees C. So as long as you continue to maintain and use safely it shouldn't burn out; just try to remember to give it some rest.Ya, I make sure to let it cool off, I generally let the computer cool down( for about 20 minutes) after about 2 hours of work or gaming.I just looked under Everest ult. ed.'s sensor report and it shows that it is 20 (net) degrees cooler than what than what Coretemp registers. Coretemp shows me the temp of core number one or core number two (for windows sidebar gadgets which is 151 (it says that the net temp of the core is 133(its actually an 18 degree difference but close enough)) So, really my core may not have been getting as hot as I had originally THOUGHT that it had.Then DLoad install and run SpeedFan as well.... I have a sneaking suspicion all these appps are reporting different temps.... Quote from: talontromper on January 03, 2011, 08:25:45 AM So, really my core may not have been getting as hot as I had originally thought that it had. Maybe, maybe not. The temperatures are not actually "measured" directly - the sensor reports the temperature as degrees below shutdown. Everest thinks it is 85 C but it is actually 100 C so Everest readings will be too low. See here for a thread about temp measurements on HP dv9000 series laptops http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-systems-and/HWMonitor-and-Everest-reporting-different-temperatures/m-p/337495 I had looked at speed fan as well, when i was looking at Everest, it said this. [recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]However, all three of the programs are reporting the same values just Everest is saying the net temperature of the cores and speed fan and coretemp are saying the temperature of core number 1.... So I'm not really sure if that website applies other than the fact that i didn't know that everest said that the shutoff temperature was 85 C.You've been told the higher temperatures you have reported, although on the high side, are normal for that machine. You found that one app reports lower temperatures. You can choose to believe whichever you like. I'm not sure what you want us to say... It's the core temp that matters. Right, thanks guys. |
